We will discuss the benefits of (even just a little!) exercise for survivors and how difficult it can be to get going again. Melissa knows. She’s been there.
Melissa Grosboll is a multi-passionate entrepreneur with many career changes in her life. She spent 20 years as a chiropractor, got burned out, retired, and opened an edible cookie dough dessert shop. In 2022, after 5 years, the last filled with several traumas, she closed her business. A few months later she was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2023.
Through her healing process, she rediscovered her passion for health and wellness and began a new career as a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Exercise Specialist, helping others regain their health and strength following a cancer diagnosis. She is also the host of The Many Faces of Cancer Podcast, sharing stories of hope and inspiration from others on their own cancer journey. She lives in Colorado with her husband of 32 years and has a 27 year old daughter, currently studying to become an engineer. Register here
